The Fete also had an Egg Throwing competition. The 34 player (17-team) field was won by two teams, as both of their eggs broke on the last throw!

After the fun of the Fetes, I headed to Kingsway Golf Centre, also in Melbourn, to have a play on their 9-hole Himalayas Minigolf Putting Course.

The course was the 196th played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in August 2010. On Saturday I had three practice rounds in the Irregular Mini Golf Tour Fake WACC competition against myself - ready for the West Anglia Challenge Cup competition, which will one-day be played on the very testing and fun course.

Prior to the building of the Himalayas Putting Course there used to be a 9-hole Crazy Golf course on the site. This was the 154th course we played on Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and was also the 200th overall course visit (played & unplayed) on the Tour!

Following the games at Kingsway Golf Centre, I headed to The Dolphin Pub in Melbourn village centre to see if the derelict 4-hole Crazy Golf course was still there.

WWE Superstar (and WWE Internet Champion) Zack Ryder is an internet sensation, and has created a YouTube show - Z! True Long Island Story - where fans can become the 'Broski of the Week' by uploading a video of themselves, showing why they are a true member of the Zack Pack.

Here's my video - after seeing a Barbers in Stevenage called 'Primo Stile'. Are you serious Bro? Primo!

The second of the two minigolf courses that we played at the Tantogårdens BGK at Tantolunden Park, Södermalm, Stockholm was the 18-hole Eternit course. This became number 251 played on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

On the 8th June 2011 Emily and I flew to Stockholm, Sweden to play for Great Britain in the WMF Nations Cup international minigolf tournament.

The tournament was held at the Beton (Concrete) and Eternit (Miniaturegolf) minigolf courses of the Tantogårdens BGK at Tantolunden Park, Södermalm, Stockholm.

The WMF Nations Cup tournament was held on the 11th and 12th of June, and official practice took place on both courses on the 9th and 10th of June. On the 8th we decided to contest the Tampere Reunion Classic title on the Beton course, which meant it became the Landmark 250th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

Coeliac UK, the leading charity working for people with coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), are currently running a competition on their website and through their magazine calling for people to 'Max' their Snacks!

Back before I was diagnosed as having Coeliac Disease, Emily and I made a 'Super Weiner' Mega Hot Dog for the brilliant website Pimp That Snack! That was way-back in May 2006!

The Pimp That Snack website runs a League Table for the Pimped Out Snacks that users submit to the site, and visitors get to vote for the ones they like (or dislike). The 1Kg, 3,185 Calorie Super Weiner is currently ranked 387 of 421 Pimped Snacks!

I'm currently thinking of ideas of what type of snack food item I should Max Out and Supersize - any suggestions gratefully received. I'm quite tempted to try to 'Max' another Hot Dog, but I'm also thinking of trying something sweet. Decisions, decisions...

A photo of the Dinosaur Adventure Golf course at the A1 Driving Range in Arkley and one of the 'inhabitants' on our visit in July 2011

Me, Emily and Brad spotted the building work on a new Adventure Golf course while we were on the On The Buses Event around Elstree & Borehamwood on Saturday 18th June!

The course is not open yet (obviously), but digging around online I found the promotion for it (and the surrounding golf range etc.) has started, and it looks like it is planned to open in early-July 2011.

Fingers crossed all goes well with the rest of the build, we look forward to giving it a go when it opens.

I managed to take one quick photo of the construction site as we were passing, as it's visible from the road.
